Botryotinia fuckeliana strain T4 genome sequencing, draft assembly version 2. Botrytis cinerea T4 strain:T4

The pathogen Botrytis cinerea (teleomorph Botryotinia fuckeliana) causes serious losses in more than 200 crop species worldwide. Although there are fungicides for its control, many classes of fungicides have failed due to its genetic plasticity. It has become an important model for molecular study of necrotrophic fungi. The aim of the genome sequencing is to provide the community with the tools to analyse and dissect the genetic basis of pathogenicity. The current draft release is version 2 of the B. cinerea T4 genome.
